(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Visitors to Cooperstown for the 2015 Induction Weekend, including the Saturday, July 25 Awards Presentation and the Sunday, July 26 Induction Ceremony, are advised to utilize several parking and transportation options in an effort to alleviate potential delays and traffic problems.

The 2015 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 26 on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown. Travelers are advised to allow plenty of time to find parking and transportation to the following points close to the Induction. Because of its small size – with a year-round population of about 2,000 residents and just one traffic light – Cooperstown will fill up quickly during Hall of Fame Weekend. Parking arrangements detailed below will be in place for Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26.

Three trolley lots, located just outside the village limits and color-coded in red, blue and yellow, are available for those visitors in the immediate Cooperstown village area. Parking in these lots is free, and a trolley ticket good for unlimited daily transportation costs $2 for adults. Children 5 and under will ride free, and the trolley service will operate from 8:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily all weekend.

Parking spots in these lots are limited. Trolleys will run only from the lots to regular stops in the village. Trolleys will not run to and from the Induction site. Hall of Fame shuttle service will provide free shuttle buses from the corner of Main and Fair streets to the Induction site, with continuous service from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then resuming at the conclusion of the Induction Ceremony. Shuttles will not run during the Induction Ceremony.

The July 24-27 Induction Weekend will feature four days filled with family-friendly events in Cooperstown as Craig Biggio, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martínez and John Smoltz are enshrined as the Class of 2015 at the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Induction Ceremony takes place at 1:30 p.m. on July 26 on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center, one mile south of the Hall of Fame on Susquehanna Avenue. Admission to the Induction Ceremony is free.

The Ceremony will be televised live on MLB Network and will be available via a Webcast at www.baseballhall.org.
